I think the real question is, does he have a recognized, legally defined disability or is he just short? (I am not answering as a ref here, these are my personal opinions) If it is a legal disability, then I think you can go back to the GDC and request reconsideration.

I understand the GDC's mindset on this - they don't want to start a precedent that snowballs (we have enough snow here already) . Say you have an 8th grade driver on your team (there are some) who is less than 5 feet tall. It would be a violation of the rules to use a stepstool. But what if the driver suffers from dwarfism? (I apologize if I am using the wrong word - I don't know the accepted terms for these conditions) I would consider that a disability.

The only instance I know of where accommodations were made for a disability was to allow a deaf team member to have an interpretor next to him.
